The thirtieth was decent, but after the better 20th episode, and the awesome 25th week--and the Daytime to Remembers, etc, it was less exciting. It was at a Crystal Ball--I have it on tape somewhere and believe it might be online, and was just one episode. The 35th was at the hopsital with Agnes for Joe's anniversary or something and was Phoebe's last appearance days before her death (I actually remember the OLTL anniversary's much less clearly--I think they did the first one for their 25th as when AMC did their 20th it was still rare for soaps to do that--of course they did have the flashback week when Megan died. I remember thinking as a whoile they were more disappointing--I remember a thirty fifth one I think that had brief musical montages for key characters like Dorian/VIcki but nothing too rare).

OLTL's 30th I do remember now, because I don't think they did anything, they just had a set of flashbacks at the end of each day for a week of episodes.

The Youtube episode from the early 70s is 1971, I think, and the scenes mostly have Linc or Ann.

Gosh, that was so good! Thanks Eric! I'm so sad now...

Glad you watched! I'll get the third (and sadly last I have) Masquerade ep tomorrow or Wednesday and the May 1980 ep a bit after.

Oh yes! god this is a tantalizing brief, good quality clip... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rejHXWbLiZc

Yes it was--a full year after their marriage. SHe may have been involved in her New yorkl world more again? It is interesting she's not there--then again maybe they (rightly) felt with nearly the whole cast in these special episodes she wasn't needed and Susan could take a break...

It's tough for me to imagine Erica wouldn't be at this - she'd be in her element. That's why I wondered if she was on maternity leave.

I am too though she was more sympathetic (as a B character) later on--helping Brooke with her rape, the lesbian stuff, etc. Devon and Wally are in that 1978 Tom/Erica wedding episode as well.

That's right. It's been so long since I've seen that episode.

It would be interesting to think of how many characters who were on the show at this time but not at the gala - we saw that Kate, the kids, Ellen wasn't there. That leaves Nancy, Paul, a dozen others I'm forgetting...

I MISS THESE DAMN PEOPLE!

Me too actually--more than I expected to, although the ridiculous little kid overload in the Kane pic just makes me laugh.

I really wish they'd done a retake of the Martin family photo - I don't think that's how Ray McDonnell or MEK would want to be remembered...

OMG, theres too many damn kids in that picture! I still remember the scene where they were all running around outside screaming and being annoying

I wish AJ was in the Chandler picture bc I do not consider him a part of the Kane clan.

I wish they'd included Marian in the Chandler shot (hell, Liza too...or was Jamie Luner already done by then). I wish they'd had some magical image thing and included Stuart too.

Jamie wasnt done as she was in the final episode. The shots were done to reflect the final week episodes and unfortunately Marion wasnt back again till the last episode. AJ wasnt allowed to see JR so thats why he wasnt with him in that picture. I get it from thtat angle but I wish ABC had taken seperate pictures and released them after the fact

Watching the second episode, the first time I can remember seeing Devon or Wally (I may have seen Devon but it was a long time ago). Wow, they are both so drab and malnourished. I think soaps have often felt like in order for characters to be "good", they must be very wan, but it's such a contrast to Ellen, who has such a sense of life and wit even in everyday scenes.

.

Ughm the whole Devon/Wally/Betsy truiangle was annoying lol. Devon had an affair with Sean Cudahy I think.

Devon was also engaged to Cliff Warner at one time.

I did like Dan Kennicott, the actor was very handsome imo.

Random memories here.....

Donna and Tom were enaged at one time.

Wasnt Jeremy invovled with Sky? And I think they briefly flirted with Sky/Travis

I didn't know that about Donna and Tom. I wonder what that was about.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Dan, aside from photos. Most of what I remember is the actor hated his role.

Pretty sure Donna was singing at his restaurant. I know they got involved and think they got engaged, but of course Tom wasnt over Brooke. I was not a fan of Brooke/Tom, nor Nina/Cliff.

What did you think of Nina and Steve Jacobi?

I wonder if Tom and Brooke ever loved each other at all.
